Elmer’s Guide to Nostalgia is a solo exhibition of new work. Referring to a common childish habit of drying glue on hands and peeling it off, these intricate sculptures represent the culmination of patience and labor. This installation is comprised of Ross’s fingerprints of dried glue that are masked and encapsulated with clear tape juxtaposing and re-contextualizing a habit experienced as children into a harmonious body of work.
